"I thought you hated hugs" , I voiced out as he wrapped his arms ever so gently around me.
"I still do, but hugs from you are an exception", he pulled me closer, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
Intrigued, I slightly tilted my head...

I hadn't gotten a blink of sleep last night. All of yesterday's conversation with Prisha and Harsh replayed in my mind the whole night. The possibility of the plan working or not working out made me restless.
And when I thought that finally I was on the verge of sleeping, my alarm rang.
"Arrghhh" , I groaned and snoozed the alarm. Sleeping for 10 more minutes wouldn't hurt right?
"Fuckk", I got up with a jerk. When did 6:40 become 7:45.
I got ready for my office hastily. I had to reach at 9 as I had an important meeting. Thank god it was an online one. It was already 8:45 and I was still at my house. I put on my shoes and shut the door, holding my tie and coat in one hand, and the laptop bag in the other and I sprinted towards the lift.
"Woahh.... Slow down Mr. Laddu ", Prisha said who was also waiting for the lift.
"Aisa lag raha hai chori karke bhage ho ", she continued, entering the lift that had just arrived.
(It seems like you are on the run after stealing something)
"Chori toh tumne ki hai.... mere dil ki ", I mumbled, following her.
(If anyone has stolen something it's you.... You have stolen my heart)
"Kuch kaha tumne ", she said turning behind.
(Did you say something)
"Nahi... Kuch bhi toh nahi ", I said and she eyed me suspiciously.
(No nothing )
"Can you hold my bag and coat, I need to put on my tie ", I asked Prisha. I had put my Laptop bag down but it kept on falling and I couldn't just put my coat on the floor.
"Wait.", she said and took the tie from my hand instead of the other two things I had asked her to.
Coming near me, she stood on her toes and put the tie around my collar. I grabbed her waist to steady her. I swear I felt her shudder under my touch.
Shitt. Was she uncomfortable ? Obviouslyy Veer. I quickly retrieved my hands which caused her to drop back to her original height.
"Keep them there. ", she said in a low voice.
"What ? ", I asked.
"Either keep your hands on my waist or come down to my level. I can't tie it. You are too tall. ", she stated.
"Oh ", I said and placed my hands on her waist.
There was no way I was leaving the chance if she herself has asked me to . 'She also asked you to bend to match her height ', my conscience mocked me , but hey was I going to listen.... NO
